On Wednesday, November 10th, Mighty Morphin Issue 13 will be released from Boom Studios. A first look of this issue was shown last month.
It’s all been building up to this, the inevitable showdown between the Power Rangers and their allies against the biggest threat they’ve ever faced – the Empyreals. And yet, the shocking conclusion of the first year of Mighty Morphin may have ended the war before it even began by decimating the very heart of the Power Rangers. Can the Rangers move past their betrayals in order to save Earth and the universe itself? Acclaimed Power Rangers writer Ryan Parrott, along with artist Marco Renna, debuts the Power Rangers event that will decide the fate of every Power Ranger across the universe – THE ELTARIAN WAR!
Host Eric (@trekkieb47) had a chance to read the issue in advance and shares his review:
“After a year of setup in Unlimited Power, The Eltarian War has kicked off and nothing will be the same. Considered by writer Ryan Parrott to be the third act or the story (listen to our upcoming interview on November 13th), the Eltarian War delivers with higher stakes and tense moments not only on the battlefield but between characters.
From the preview pages, the story of Lord Zedd’s rise continues as he obliterates a tribe of wizard monks on the planet Ilvayx. It makes sense that Lord Zedd would learn more of the mystical arts or magic opposed to the Elterian reliance on technology and science. Moving to the present, Billy is on the run after Supreme Guardian Zartus has seemingly destroyed Zordon. What follows in this issue is a great start to this new arc. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the cliffhanger of Kimberly, Adam and Rocky facing off against Sentry Force Four is resolved in spectacular fashion.
Overall, writer Ryan Parrott does a wonderful job upping the stakes while at the same time keeping the pacing of the issue even. Every character gets a moment to shine in tough situations and conversations. Artist Marco Renna has outdone himself with amazing action sequences that feel constantly kinetic and conversations mixed with emotions. Not to be outdone, the coloring team of Walter Baiamonte, Katia Ranalli and Sara Antonellini is super vibrant. Even a fight in a rock quarry ends up being one of the most colorful in the issue.
If you’ve been reading and are caught up on the comics, there is no point in stopping now! Highly recommended.”
